BSS Urshifu (Rapid Strike) (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

[Urushifu]

Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Choice Scarf / Choice Band
Ability: Unseen Fist
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Close Combat
- Thunder Punch
- U-turn

Released in the latest DLC, Isle of Armor, Urshifu-R has quickly established itself as a top-tier threat in BSS due to its huge versatility and signature move, Surging Strikes, enabling it to OHKO Pokemon such as Excadrill and Lycanroc through a Focus Sash. Close Combat is used for its raw power, while Thunder Punch allows Urshifu-R to catch Water-types that might try switching in. Finally, U-turn is a great pivoting move for a Choice item user. If supplemented with a Choice Scarf, Urshifu-R is able to outspeed and KO threats like Cinderace, while a Choice Band allows Urshifu-R to OHKO offensive Mimikyu through Disguise with Surging Strikes. It's not all positives for Urshifu-R however, as it struggles versus threats like Dragapult and the various Flying-types present in BSS, as well as being easily revenge killed by Rillaboom's Grassy Glide. Therefore, try pairing it with a Pokemon such as Rotom-H, Lapras, or Togekiss to mitigate this.

Psynergy could I get a QC please?

 

[Psynergy]

This set looks fine, I would probably slash in Choice Band since even though it fills a different role, the set is the same for Band usually. It also emphasizes that Rapid Strike Urshifu's huge versatility is a big selling point for it.

As for specific comments, I'd mention Mimikyu as a target for Surging Strikes, the fact that Band Surging Strikes OHKOes offensive Mimikyu is a pretty big deal in BSS. I'd also explain the other moves a bit, Thunder Punch being for bulky Waters/Gyarados and U-turn pivoting being a good pivoting tool especially with Scarf.

Rillaboom is also a major issue for this Urshifu, probably an even bigger issue than the Flying-types since there's no getting around Grassy Glide.

 

[Urushifu]

Ok I’ve implemented the above, does it look fine now?

 

[Psynergy]

Yeah this looks fine to me, a few grammar errors but I'm not the grammar expert here so I'll leave that to GP. Urshifu is misspelled in a few places though so I'd fix that real quick.
